Time For Peace
The sky blinded by smoke
That spoke of innocent slay
Valleys echoed screams
Soil witnessed bloodshed
Fear rode on wind
Touching the branches
That refused to sway
Gunshots fired
And bombers attacked
Amongst blackened humanity
Two innocent hands
Came up to the barrier wall
Separating two nations
Took his palm full of earth
And wrote among tears
"TIME FOR PEACE"
Years and generations flowed
Neatly covered in glass case
A proclaimed renowned wall
And the unknown boy
Famous and remembered
But the lesson he taught
Was never learned
And one day
A gun shot from nowhere
Broke down the glass
And the unknown boy
Died once again.
